A short story of Blackbeard (#457) was published in Sailing World's October issue.

Craigslist Grand Rapids has one listed in Saugatuck. Do a search for sailboats.

I have hull 68, and a fellow club member has 27.

My boat was formerly named, "Ni Modo," and prior to that from the graphic shadow on the side, "Synapse."
Presently "Rum Line."

I can't tell much of the history of hull 27, presently just has a "Hornet" for a logo.
